The John Lewis Mini sewing machine is a perfect sewing machine for beginners. It has enough functions to let you experiment and have fun, but not so many that it’s overwhelming.

Features include: 10 stitch options, 2 needle positions, drop-in bobbin, and free arm (great for adjusting cuffs or trousers). It also has a double presser foot and push lever reverse for when you want to reinforce a stitch. It’s suitable for light to medium fabrics, so you can mend and make things as you wish.

Accessories included with this machine are a standard foot, spare bobbins and needles.

A twin needle can be used with the John Lewis Mini Sewing Machine, in the straight stitch function only.
